May 22nd


The phrase "strangely populated tracts" does not refer mostly to non-white racial groups, nor to foreign-country ethnic groups; my intention is that most people are strange, therefore any city is strangely populated, including Los Angeles. So at the risk of being misunderstood I display this work unmodified. Race is not the main thing I'm thinking of when I mean strange. Nor should it be taken as an offense if I find someone strange...I find most people to be strange. I like the racial/ethnic/cultural diversity of Los Angeles: if I didn't, I would have moved away. I like strangeness as well, hence Surreal art is one of my favorite kinds of art.

Anomalous rainfall


A Fortean phenomenon of the funkier kind.

New work from a few days ago

Nude study, 2017


I drew this with a thick fatty black colored pencil/crayon and I placed a piece of wood underneath to create those wood patterns and textures seen. This one is from 2017, but first published today. Her right forearm is a little too long, but I consider it artistic license/expressionism: it would be difficult to fix that now in any case, because this type of crayon is not much eraseable. I like her ass, her body, and that one breast that can be seen as well. I like how this piece came out.
